Set about ten years prior to The Cartel, this gritty novel introduces a brilliant cast of characters. Art Keller is an obsessive DEA agent. The Barrera brothers are heirs to a drug empire. Nora Hayden is a jaded teenager who becomes a high-class hooker. Father Parada is a powerful and incorruptible Catholic priest. Callan is an Irish kid from Hell’s kitchen who grows up to be a merciless hit man. And they are all trapped in the world of the Mexican drug Federación. From the streets of New York City to Mexico City and Tijuana to the jungles of Central America, this is the war on drugs like you’ve never seen it.

Ratings and reviews

Amazing story line!!! Could not put the tablet down. Every little deatail described made me want to reach the end that much more. Recommend it for everyone into the atmosphere of cops vs robbers.

This book was very good! I'm not much of a reader but the book had me intrigued from beginning to end! Drugs, sex, killing, etc... Action packed!

Loved the layered characters, loved the plot(s), and loved the mixture of action and storytelling.
